Here's what we look like as Simpson's caricatures (thanks to Dave):

If you've seen him banging away on the ivories at one of our shows, you know that Dave adds a great dimension to the troupe with his incredible improvised music! Or perhaps you've seen him down at the Surf Bowl singing 99 Luft Ballons in perfect time - in German, none the less. Dave and Nate are brothers, proof that nepotism is still alive and well, but we don't hold it against either of them.

The rumors are sad and true, in late summer Nate will be joining his cousin (kissing cousins?) in South Carolina. If you haven't seen him, you better come to our next show - he is hilarious! He likes to travel, move couches and plays a mean washboard. Perhaps he'll even have a real bio here some day.

Ron has been performing improvisational comedy for nearly 10 years in a variety of troupes, including The Blonde Leading the Blind and French Alien Soup. His thespian career started with 'A Southern Ghost,' a play in which he produced, directed and co-starred in front of an enthusiastic audience of 5th grade parents. Ron has studied with Nina Wise, David Razowsky, and many others.

Kevin entered the improv scene in Seattle in 1985 and performed for six years with the improv troupe Mission Improv-Ible. After going on hiatus to get married, move back to Santa Cruz, and have three kids, the family got tired of Kevin's constant joking and storytelling and made him get back into improv in early 2002. He rejoined the world of improv by completing Um...Gee...Um's advanced improv series and performing locally with the troupe Laughmore. After the 2002 Improvathon, he joined up with four other talented improvisers to form Static Theatre Productions and is currently performing in Santa Cruz with Stay Tuned!.

Marti has performed at the Santa Cruz Annual Improvathon for the past 7 years with; The Blonde Leading the Blind, Poodle Hostages and French Alien Soup among others. She's been instrumental in developing the Improvathon since it's beginning, fostering businesses to participate and support the art community. She has studied with Nina Wise, True Fiction Magazine, Santa Cruz's own Fun Institute and at the Chicago Improv Festival. Marti is a writer and art teacher. She teaches students to trust the ideas rolling round their heads through visual improvisation and writing. Improv and art are one and the same; they are both about taming the editor within to let us play.

After years as an unofficial smart-ass, Max made it official in 2001 when he took improv classes from the Fun Institute, joined local troupe French Alien Soup, and performed at the 2001 Improvathon. Since then Max has studied at San Francisco's Bay Area Theatre Sports, completed the Um...Gee...Um's Advanced Improv Series, and performed with the troupe Laughmore. At the 2002 Improvathon he took to the stage with two groups. Since the Spring of 2003 Max has been performing with Static Theatre's Stay Tuned! and Cast of Characters.

She's funny. She can dance. She can sing. And she loves to edit videos! Just don't ask her about her recent computer crash. But do ask her when she's going to give me a real bio to put up here.
